To harvest a better debugging output follow these steps (sorry to rely
on the commandline exclusively). Do them in a konsole window, as root:

 (a) Stop your CUPS daemon     : "/etc/init.d/cupsys stop"
 (b) Empty your error_log file : "echo '' > /var/log/cups/error_log"
 (c) Edit your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf so that it contains the line
     "LogLevel debug"; save the file
 (d) Restart your CUPS daemon  : "/etc/init.d/cupsys start"
 (e) Print something that previously failed. (Well, maybe the restart
     of CUPS makes it work for a while again?)
 (f) Stop your CUPS daemon     : "/etc/init.d/cupsys stop"
 (g) Investigate the error_log file line by line. If you don't find
     anything obvious, post a link to it so one of us can look at it.
